I Want a Beer (2LB-18)

Lent is not just about a new years resolution, will power, or suffering. It is about a willing heart that imitates Jesus Christ in His sacrifice on the cross. Abraham and Isaac foreshadow that sacrifice of the Father and Son, Jesus Christ. What makes the sacrifice redemptive for us is not the amount of blood shed, but the willingness and love with which it is offered. At every Mass we have the opportunity to unite our sacrifices, sufferings and pains to Jesus Christ as we celebrate the Last Supper the start of Jesus willing passion. May we have a lent not filled with a rocky heart, but a willing one filled with charity. 2/25/18
